--------------------------------------
Summary: Gremlin Javascript Traversal as async iterable
Key: TINKERPOP-2167
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2167
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: javascript
Affects Versions: 3.4.0
Environment: Node v10.15.0
Reporter: Joe Strouth
Traversals in Gremlin javascript are async iterators, as they implement a
{{next()}} method that returns a Promise, which resolves to an object with
{{value}} and {{done}} properties. It would be helpful if they were also async
iterables - traversable via {{for await ... of}} loops.
{code:javascript}
(async function() {
for await (const continent of g.V().hasLabel('continent').values('desc')) {
console.log(continent)
}
})()
{code}
Expected output:
{noformat}
> Africa
Antarctica
North America
Asia
Oceania
Europe
South America
{noformat}
Current output: (Node v10.15.0)
{noformat}
> (node:14698) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError:
> g.V(...).hasLabel(...).values(...) is not a function or its return value is
> not async iterable

(node:14698) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.
This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a
catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch().
(rejection id: 1)
(node:14698) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are
deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will
terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
{noformat}
This can be achieved by adding a {{[Symbol.asyncIterator]}} method to the
Traversal class.
